Chalk Talks

Chalk talks are a highly interactive content format with a smaller audience. They begin with a 10–15-minute lecture delivered by an AWS expert, followed by a 45–50-minute Q&A session with the audience. The goal is to foster a technical discussion around real-world architecture challenges. Chalk talks are one hour and are presented by AWS experts. They have expert level content.

Chalk talks have one main speaker and one to two additional AWS experts who whiteboard problems and solutions as the discussion unfolds. There will be hundreds of chalk talks at re:Invent 2018, so be sure to carefully choose the ones most interesting to you, and come with questions!
